Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Residency Admissions Details

Application and Admissions

Applicants with dental degrees from the U.S.A and Canada are preferred. 

A minimum of one year’s experience in a general practice residency or in general practice is desirable.  All other candidates will thoroughly be considered and are encouraged to apply.

Our residency program will participate in Phase I of the Match.  Applicants must register with the Match program.  The Match and ADEA PASS share a registration portal for applicants, so applicants who want to register for the Match must go to the ADEA PASS website to complete the Match registration process.  Applicants will be charged the Match registration fee at that time.  For more information, go to Match website.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: September 1st.  This is the deadline for all application materials, including those submitted to ADEA PASS.  Note: the first step in using PASS is for the applicant to register and pay the PASS registration fee.  Nothing will happen at PASS until you have paid and are registered.

Interviews for our program will be held during late September and early October.  Applicants and program will submit rank order lists to the Match in late October to early November.  Final results of the Match are released to applicants and programs in mid to late November.  See the Match website for further details.
